The twist is that the supposed royal is a man called Matt Hicks who works for an environmental consulting firm.

ITV2 has now confirmed that the show will broadcast on Wednesday, June 4 at 9pm. It premiered in the US last week.

The show, which is from Ryan Seacrest Productions, sees Hicks having a crash course in fine dining, horseback riding and etiquette, before trying to convince the bachelorettes that he is the fourth in line to the throne.

With one woman being eliminated from the show each week, Hicks will eventually reveal his true identity - leaving her to decide whether she likes him for who he truly is.
